As I have said before, Shirebrook has many Polish/Romanian/Lithuanian people there, Sports Direct was/is their main employer.

Card?....ain't got one.

I have not been to Yarmouth since the middle 1980,s keep threatening to visit sometime.

It is no busier at the weekend in Mansfield. And we have to find somewhere else to do our shopping, Asda is going cashless in the near future..

Many of the shops have Polish or (I assume) Romanians workers, better than working at Sport Direct. Only a couple of Polish food shops in Mansfield.

Mansfield marketplace in all its glory.

How can learning another language be racist?

Going down town in a short while, I ought to learn the Polish/Romanian language, it would be very helpful in the shops

Says its 10c outside, breezy though, I have no enthusiasm to do anything, seems my arse is glued to this chair.

But finding that nice wine.... so many to choose from in the wine Isle of the supermarket.

Iam not a drinker, but I do like a couple of pints of lager, 3 or 4 pints is a heavy session for me I do like a glass or three of wine, me and my wife stick to a brand called Barefoot, a white Zinfandel. Had a Guinness once, but it is not to my liking.

5 pints and I would be like that........ or worse.

A professional (drinker) at work.

I had some nice delivery trips in Scotland during the summer months, never saw a Midge at all , did one trip in the winter, had to pick my route carefully, with the helpful knowledge of the locals telling me roads to avoid.

I have never been up that coast, most of the deliveries I did were on the East Side, I did go to Glasgow once, not something I want to repeat.

A good journey is that.

What coincidence, someone posted a pic of Fred Dibnah,s grave on FB today, they left a can of Guinness and roll up on the grave.. Iam not a fan of very high heights, but watching him climbing up a rickety ladder to the top of a chimney made me feel uneasy, all while sitting in my armchair.

Worm food

Easy when you know how, or maybe not.

It was eye opener when driving in Spain/Majorca to see many many scooter riders not wearing a helmet, thought it was law in all EU countries, and the police did not seem to give a toss, do that here and you would have 3 police interceptors doing a forced stop

Where are you travelling to with that on board?

When my daughter was 17 she bought a Piaggio NRG 50 to travel to work on, 27mph on the flat, maybe 35 downhill, we bought a sports exhaust, without the restricter in the header pipe, and took the restricter spacer out of the variator, resulting in 45mph on the flat, 50+ downhill, illegal, very, but a damn site safer than 27mph with buses and lorries trying to overtake her.

We were in the process of buying a Barratts house, they gave us a choice of a bathroom suite in that blue colour, or one in Avocado we decided to have blue.

We had a bathroom suite in that colour..............................in the 1970,s
